Methodology

What we record

For each company, on a stated date: website availability, HTTPS, mobile friendliness, footer year and investor relations section; official LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, X and YouTube presence with follower counts, recent posts and engagement where visible; and LinkedIn company size.

Presence Radar

One axis per scored channel (website, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook). Each axis is a 0 to 10 score from the manual review. A channel with no score is shown as n/a and is not drawn as zero. The radar is drawn only when at least three axes have data; otherwise it shows "Insufficient data". X and YouTube axes will appear once scores exist for them.

The fill colour follows the overall observed-activity score: green for 7 and above (higher activity), amber for 4 to under 7 (moderate), red for under 4 (limited). The colour describes how much online activity was observed. It is not a statement about the company's quality, honesty or prospects.

Changes over time

Growth figures (for example followers up 35% or 10x) are shown only when at least two dated observations exist at least 30 days apart. The exact dates and values are displayed. If only one observation exists, nothing is shown.

Ownership calculator

Shown only when shares outstanding and a price are both recorded with a source and date. It converts between a percentage, a number of shares and an amount. It is an illustration, not a quote.

What it does not measure

Legitimacy, financial health or investment potential. Anyone can build a polished presence, some sound businesses are quiet online, and followers can be purchased.

Missing data

Shown as not found or not captured. Widgets without verified data are hidden. Companies with insufficient data are not published in this prototype.
